You know what would be awesome? I'll tell you what would be awesome.
It would be awesome if we could set up a Blackboard program that could monitor the amount of effort students put into their homework, and then translate it into some worthwhile to them...like five hours of homework would be equivalent to a level's worth of experience points in World of Warcraft or their favorite MMORPG.
Grades, apparently, don't provide enough motivation.
Actually, even more awesome would be if I could accrue experience points in my favorite video game for grading their homework...because their grades are certainly not inspiring me to want to jump into another stack o' papers.
